A man said he was stabbed during an attempted armed robbery early Sunday morning on Quequechan Street, police reported.

The victim suffered a stab wound to the upper left side of his back, and was transported to Rhode Island Hospital. His injuries were not life-threatening, Fall River Police Detective J.D. Costa said.

The victim, 31, said he was walking south on Quequechan Street around 12:30 a.m. Sunday when two men — one white and one black, both wearing hooded sweatshirts — approached and tried to rob him for his money, Costa said.

The victim said he and both assailants got into a fist fight. During the fight, the black assailant, who wore a black hooded sweatshirt, stabbed the victim, and both assailants then ran off, Costa said.

The victim, who also suffered a laceration above his right eye, went first to Saint Anne’s Hospital, where police were dispatched at 12:55 a.m., Costa said.

Detectives are investigating. Anyone with information is asked to call the police department’s Major Crimes Division at 508-324-2796 or its anonymous tip line at 508-672-TIPS.
